Anyone need boxes?
Actually, we posted an ad on Craigslist and someone came for them within hours!
The thing about packing that you have to unpack. While a couple drinks (ok, maybe more than a couple) makes packing easier, it makes unpacking full of hilarious surprises. Apparently at some point I gave up and just added IDK to a box (that’s “I don’t know” for those of you who don’t have millennial siblings or kids).

We picked up an additional passenger.
He was begging to jump in the car with two women.

Sometimes Mother Nature is a big help.
I know most of you think I’m nuts based on the US weather as of late.
This was my view this morning:
My camera couldn’t pick up the snow very well so I took some artistic license.

Is there such a thing as a moving consultant?
I need to be project planned.
In my “normal” life I’m pretty organized. I’m structured. I have a routine and I like it. Some might call me Type A (though you wouldn’t know it from the past couple months… I blame Vegas).
Anytime I move it’s a whole new story. I turn into a Jack Russell puppy chasing it’s tail. I have bubble wrap everywhere. Piles of shit I have no idea what to do with. Empty boxes. Boxes that are 75% full… but that I can’t seal because I’m looking for little odds and ends I can cram it the remaining 25% (you know those odd spaces that need to be stuffed by nothing really fit in?).

The competition is off.
I don’t know how I thought I was going to pull that one off.
I just got married. I’m moving across the country (anyone want to buy a condo in Midtown Atlanta???). And I was going to do a competition… a week after moving. HAHAHAHA! I’m stubborn. I don’t understand the word “no.” But even I’m not quite THAT crazy.
Also, red velvet Oreos are delicious with Zinfandel. We all know I have an Oreo thing. That red velvet is definitely contender for the top flavor. The cookie isn’t so different, but that cream cheese filling rocks my world.

As you have probably figured out, I am always on the go.
It’d be a shame to stagnate.
Whether it is traveling to the next exotic location or just running around town, I don’t sit still for very long. Unfortunately, this can mean grabbing something unhealthy to eat on those forays in my car. Granola bars, fruit, and raw veggies can only carry you so far. And what happens when you don’t feel like lugging along a cooler to keep things like Greek yogurt cold?
If you’ve been reading very long, you know I need variety! Anyone else looking for healthy (and delicious) snacks that don’t need refrigeration but are not the same old same old? I thought I’d share some of my stand-bys today.

We can’t always be rational.
I may abuse this with my irrational aversions.
Water sports are fine, but as soon as you want me to dunk my whole head under water… no dice. I abhor white potatoes… but I’ll eat hash browns and french fries if they’re burnt extra crispy.
There are certain words I cannot stand. “Chunked” shouldn’t be allowed on any restaurant menu. “Privileges” makes me relive a lot of teenage angst. While I love my chocolate cake to be such, the word “moist” makes me want to gag.

Peanut Butter Yogurt Bowl. Mocha Concrete Protein Shake. Pumpkin Cake Pancakes.
That’s my kind of ménage à trois!
If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time, you know I’m a protein powder enthusiast. When About Time sent over a dream team of protein powders for me to try, I jumped at the chance. Birthday cake, peanut butter, cinnamon swirl… I was like a kid in a candy shop.
